Summer Training

[Unregistered]

Any high level training in the area over the summer for high school aged players (MLSNext level)? My kid's club offers some training, but the quality has been hit or miss in the past depending on who shows up. It would also be nice to get some exposure to coaches outside of the club.

Send them to Spain. My son spent two weeks at Camp Nou facilities at FC Barca. Great experience

Wouldn't a high school aged high level player be attending ID camps over the summer?

This^. My kid is just finishing his freshman year and is signed up for two college ID camps just to get his feet wet. They are each two day camps, so four days of soccer training over the entire summer should be plenty to have him ready to go for the fall season.

Not if they're not the appropriate age.

Was there a sarcasm tag here?

Hopefully some of the N-4 days will be spent doing active shape so he doesn't come back to HS with a beer belly and wobbly legs haha

College coaches do not recruit by birth year. They focus on graduation year. If this is a high school player, who's playing at the MLS Next level, you better believe they are going to ID Camps.

If this kid is a boy, and about to enter 9th grade, then they could attend a high level Red Bulls camp (one where there are tryouts to attend). I'm sure other MLS clubs offer them too.
